UAE releases 100 houbara bustards into Uzbekistan

Under the auspices of Saif bin Zayed
UAE releases 100 houbara bustards into Uzbekistan

Under the auspices of Lt. General H.H Sheikh Saif bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minster and Minster of Interior, the Emirates Center for Wildlife Propagation (ECWP) has released 100 captive-bred houbara bustards into the wild of Bukhara in Uzbekistan as part of a programme to release 350 birds.

Sheikh Saif said the move underscores President His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan's unstinted support for conservation of the environment and heritage.

Sheikh Saif praised the efforts of General HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of UAE Armed Forces in the conservation and breeding of houbara bustards.

''The release of the bird forms an important component of the UAE civilisational and humanitarian strategy based on the far-sighted vision and forward environmental initiatives of the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan. We are proud today that these birds will never extinct and their population is increasing rapidly,''he added.

The birds were fitted with satellite transmitters to monitor their journey and adaptation to natural habitats.

The UAE Houbara Captive Breeding programme aims at propagating the bird in captivity so as to increase their population.

The Houbara Bustard is found in the Canary Islands, North Africa, Egypt, Arab Peninsula China and Central Asia. It breeds in deserts and other very arid sandy areas and is largely resident within its range.

Houbara bustard is under the protection of the State Committee of the Republic of Uzbekistan on nature protection

The official opening ceremony of one more center on the breeding of houbara bustards was held in Bukhara region, Uzbekistan. The farm is located in Bukhara region, Peshkun district (not far from of the lake Kara-Kir) on the area of 400 ha.
Houbara bustard is a rare type, but it is exposed to a man. In 2006 the leadership of the State Committee of the Republic of Uzbekistan on nature protection conducted negotiations with international organizations on building the farm for breeding this type of bird, which is listed to the Red Book.
As a result in November, 2008 the Agreement of mutual cooperation between the State Committee of the Republic of Uzbekistan on nature protection and non-governmental non-commercial research organization «Emirates Birds Breeding Center for Conservation» was signed.
According to the date of econews.uz today there are more than 1000 birds in the center. In 2011 the first bred birds were let go in the natural conditions, and for two years about 200 birds were set free.
Many local and international specialists successfully work in the center. That is why in the arsenal of the labor practices there are only the latest methods and advanced technologies for breeding birds. The ecologically reasonable business on conservation and breeding rare birds created also job places for the local population.
